What you need to do

Elections to the GTCS Council convening in April 2022 open Monday 10th January 2022, with the deadline for voting being midday on Friday 11th February. 

The EIS is committed to ensuring strong teacher voice within GTCS Council and to this end is supporting a full complement of candidates across the range of vacancies in the Primary, Secondary and FE Categories.

Congratulations to Annemarie Harley who has been elected unopposed in the FE category.

You can play your part in ensuring that the voice of the teaching profession is spoken and heard on GTCS Council by voting for all remaining EIS-supported candidates in the Primary and Secondary categories.

*NB for Secondary members

GTCS published inaccurate information regarding the vacancies within the Secondary category, which has resulted in the EIS supporting only one HT candidate (rather than two) and one too many Teacher candidates. The EIS is in discussion with GTCS about this.

With the agreement of Edward Burns, the EIS is supporting and encouraging Secondary members to vote for:

• Liz Russell

• Krysia Smyth

• Adam Sutcliffe
